10 December 2008The Tate’s ‘Street Art’ brought alive with the help of Edge Live
It’s the anti-establishment movement that has taken the art market by storm. Hedge-funders and Hollywood’s A-listers collect it, auction houses have been quick to sell it and Tate Modern has a number of pieces of ‘Street Art’ emblazoned on its front walls as part of the gallery’s first commissioned Street Art exhibition. The controversial exhibition runs until 25th August and displays the works of well-known Street Artists such as Blu and American collective Faile. Allegedly Banksy was not invited to take part, which we understand led to him running a small-scale rival tunnel exhibition of his own!
Events and communications agency Edge Live have worked closely with Nissan and T ate Modern to create an urban themed, interactive information tunnel for exhibition visitors. Not only have Edge Live designed and delivered the structure, they are also providing staff and training for the three month period. The information tunnel, situated on the busy South Bank next to the Millennium Bridge, welcomes approximately 1,000 visitors per day from all over the world.
